October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month aka our yearly reminder to build up our digital defense! At ImmyBot, we believe cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. It takes all of us working together to secure our hardware, protect our software, and build resilient systems.
This month, we’re excited to bring you a series of events and resources designed to empower you and your teams with practical tools, expert insights, and automation strategies that make security second nature.
1. October Community Call with Jason Slagle
Date: October 1, 2025
Recording: Watch here.
Jason Slagle shared powerful insights on key cybersecurity practices, including:
- Cyber Defense Matrix: A framework for mapping tools across asset classes and NIST functions.
- RACI Chart: Clarifying roles in co-managed agreements.
- Least Privilege: Leveraging role-based access control (RBAC) in ImmyBot to limit admin access.
- Patch Management: Using ImmyBot for third-party patching with desired state configuration.
Key Takeaways:
- You can’t protect what you don’t know exists.
- Keep hardware and software up-to-date.
- Credential misuse and SSL VPN vulnerabilities remain top threats.
- Detection matters — even simple tools like PowerShell can reveal intrusions.
- Start simple: use spreadsheets for patch tracking and rotate credentials regularly.
